Siemens FactoryLink vrn.exe Opcode 9 Buffer Overflow

Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in FactoryLink 7.5, 7.5 SP2, and 8.0.1.703. By sending a specially crafted packet, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code due to the improper use of a vsprintf() function while processing the user-supplied text field.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
